KAL - Holmfirth Pool & Fitness Centre: Opinions

Fantastic experience: Great place.
Hi J H, Thankyou for your review and we look forwards to seeing you in the centre again soon! Thanks, KAL Team

Hi Cilla, Thankyou for your lovely review! We look forwards to seeing you again soon. KAL Team
Fantastic experience: Great fitness centre. Free parking and friendly staff
Hi Chris, Thank you for your kind review we are so pleased that you are enjoying our Holmfirth Pool and Fitness Centre. We look forward to seeing you in centre. Kind regards KAL Marketing Team
Positive experience: Majorly outdated and needing investment
Hi Paul, Thank you for your feedback, we will pass it on to the relevant teams. Thanks, KAL Team
Negative experience: Be aware that you must cancel your membership 30 days in advance (even if you do not have a subscription membership). I was not aware of this and as a result have had to pay £50 for a month of gym membership I will not use. It does not take 30 days to cancel a direct debit, it is wholly unjustified and is simply a scummy tactic to charge you extra. Unfortunately this has soured my experience with this gym. I will not be returning.
Hi Jonny Thank you for your comments. We do have a set procedure in place which is detailed in our terms and conditions. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service team who would be happy to help. Email [email protected] Phone: 01484 766131
Negative experience: I useful in at the gym few years ago is good for the gym place but bit different now so lots barrier on a door the stuck is bit stupidly and new gym exercises a gym running machine so I don’t know how on working ! I’m was so struggling with me that don’t enough not much in an a the gym exercise so a small too in the gym
Hi Rose, Thank you for your review. All members that join can book a free 30 mins Fitness Orientation via our KAL app or through one of our friendly staff at the centre. This includes time to show you around the gym and an overview on how to use the equipment. Included within a membership are 30 minute programme sessions, where one of our helpful instructors can run through our SHAPE workout cards. We would be happy to book one of these to make your gym experience more enjoyable. please email [email protected]
Negative experience: Kids swimming lessons were terrible. Staff changing regularly, kids not progressing through the stages (we met kids who'd been in the same grade for multiple years), kids messing around as the environment is really loud so listening is hard, and met so many others who moved elsewhere for similar reasons we've noted.
Hi Nick, Thank you for your feedback. We are very proud of our swim programme and regularly review every swimmer. We are sorry to hear of your experience. We would like to look into this further can you please contact us on: [email protected] for us to discuss this further with you. Many thanks KAL team.
Positive experience: It's showing its age now. I went to the same pool when I was at school.
Positive experience: Just to use the car park
Positive experience: A little run down but adequate and serving the fitness and leisure community, parking is free but at busy times you struggle for a space and people are then parking on the driveway which makes it difficult for coaches to access the free coach bays, cars are also parking in the coach bays which are clearly marked COACHES.
Fantastic experience: Great leisure centre, really friendly staff, always a nice greeting when you go in
Positive experience: Ok
Fantastic experience: A small, friendly and supportive gym , irrespective of your fitness level. Love the friendly environment.
Negative experience: Used to love going to KAL, but their policy that pre-paid classes can't be cancelled or transferred is ridiculous. I have a head cold and can't attend class, but due to their policy, a space has to be kept that won't be used, preventing someone else from attending. Will definitely be going to a different gym that won't waste my money.
Fantastic experience: Great local leisure centre.
Fantastic experience: Really nice staff very professional and friendly
Negative experience: Lane swimming is a joke for slower swimmers, they allow anyone in this lane and as a slow swimmer I feel intimidated by the fast swimmers who clearly shouldn't be in this lane. Happens weekly, puts me of going. No supervision at all.
Fantastic experience: Anne, an Amazing instructor for my daughter and very friendly staff!!
Positive experience: It's an okay to take a walk and relax
Positive experience: Gym facility is quite small but has all the equipment you need.
Fantastic experience: Really lovely little gym, I did the Zumba and Pilates class and both were excellent
Negative experience: Has a lovely pool but the gym really is lacking in equipment. If you’re going purely for the gym I wouldn’t recommend, it’s more of a hotel gym if anything - no squat rack just the basics. For 32 pounds a month too I do feel it’s on the high side considering what it offers. Please please upgrade
Positive experience: The booking system and app are absolutely pointless and archaic.
Positive experience: Use the studio for yoga but struggle to get classes as full
Positive experience: It's a nice a quite gym
Fantastic experience: Lovely small pool and gym. Been coming here for years. Friendly staff.
Positive experience: Nice little pool. The men’s changing rooms are freezing in winter. Communication is poor. Even if you book they don’t tell you if the pool is closed for snow or whatever! There’s nothing on their website and the phone line is a never ending wait. The only way you know is when you waste a journey to get there.
Fantastic experience: Friendly, convenient and never too busy. Lots of equipment; great value for money.

Thank you for the kind review Chris :)
Fantastic experience: Visited the pool on a weekday morning. Incredibly nice staff and very helpful. Swimming facilities clean. Small 20metre pool but locals friendly and respectful! Would really recommend it.
Thank you so much for the kind review!
Positive experience: Nice gym but lacking equipment, no smith machine, no bench press and only one quite poor cable machine for chest. However, it’s possible to manage without but some more equipment would improve the gym
Thank you for the feedback, we have passed this onto our Fitness Development team.
Positive experience: For once a gym that wasn't totally overused. All the machinery was readily available, which is not the case with most gym's.
Thank you Philip!
Negative experience: The phone service is terrible - it’s no service at all. Each option basically gives a generic answer to a question you’re not calling about, then gives you no option to talk to anyone.
Hi Neil, if you call 01484 766131 and press option 5, you will be able to speak to our team. Please note that lines are open between 9am-6:45pm Monday to Friday and 9am-2.45pm Saturday and Sunday. Another way to get in touch is by emailing our team at [email protected]. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Friendly, polite, clean, handle issues there n then. Great service
Thank you for the kind review :)
Positive experience: Basic, decent pool.but staff could do with advising swimmers to swim and not just squat in the lane swimming lanes! Some pool rage witnessed by my better half, with fast swimmers antagonising the slower ones...in the slow lane!!! Get in your own bit of the pool speed freaks!
Hi, thank you for your feedback and I will pass this comments onto the Management team at site.
Positive experience: Very good aqua med class changing rooms ok but 1or 2 things could be improved .eg hooks for towels in shower area.
Hi John, thanks for the feedback :)
Negative experience: I wouldn’t use this gym again, it’s very small, they begin cleaning an hour before it actually shuts. There’s not much equipment so you find yourself waiting around to use something.

Positive experience: Just past like I three times a day
Positive experience: A good place to go also friendly staff
Positive experience: A decent place to train. Membership isn't expensive and the equipment is quite up to date. Sometimes the music played constantly can be a bit trying but this might be because I am of a certain age. I guess a little more attention should be payed to equipment cleaning.

Fantastic experience: All the staff were very friendly and helpful when I visited the Holmfirth Pool & Fitness Centre when I was with my fellow St Helens Ramlers Group on our weekend walk in and around the Holmfirth areas when I desperately needed to use the toilet facilities both before and after our walk.
Fantastic experience: Super pool for a class

Thank you Keith for writing such a great review.
Fantastic experience: Great facility
Thank you for the such a lovely 5 star review
Positive experience: Not bad little place
Fantastic experience: Very efficient staff
Fantastic experience: Unused to using a swimming pool I used Holmfirth Pool after finishing my night shifts and the experience was very straightforward and the guys working there were very friendly and helpful prompting me to write this review.
Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience and for giving us 5 stars.
Positive experience: Basic technogym machinery so the elliptical and treadmill are a bit basic. There are no wipes to wipe down the machines. It's clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Parking is free and generally OK. Lane swimming is generally always busy and slow swimmers are not told to go down a lane, which causes frustration.
Thank you for taking the time to post a great 4 star review. We really appreciate your feedback as this is invaluable and helps us to improve the service we deliver.
Positive experience: No nonsense, it's limited but can't really be helped due to the size of the place, but please please get a punch bag, it's so much more motivating between sets to hit the bag and loosen up
Thanks for the great review and your comments will fed back to the management team for review.
